HOLLAND, Mich., March 21, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Holland has been honored by the Vehicle Service Group (VSG) with two of its 2015 Carrier of the Year awards. For the third consecutive year, Holland was named LTL Carrier of the Year by VSG. Holland was also selected as its first ever Overall Carrier of the Year for 2015. Introduced this year, the Overall Carrier of the Year award is given to the best overall carrier across all service categories: TL, LTL, flatbed and ocean.

“Nothing means more to Holland than the satisfaction of our customers,” said Scott Ware, President of Holland. “Statistics and figures are necessary, but the bottom line is whether or not those numbers equate to quality service for our customers. These awards from VSG serve as affirmation that Holland has made good on its promise of unmatched LTL performance. They also stand as a testament to the hard work and dedication of our world-class employees. It is through their commitment to excellence that we are able to win these awards year after year. We thank each and every Holland employee for the superior customer service put forth every day. We would also like to thank the Vehicle Service Group for this honor. We look forward to providing VSG with many more years of award-winning service.”
